Thinking about my digital footprint and how to reduce it.
It is important to recycle, as it is not good for the planet to be strewn with items that could be refurbished and reused.
Specific and targeted.
Reducing our environmental footprint is a great concern of mine, especially with the new throwaway society that we live in. I have been donating old computer equipment to the Royal British Legion. They strip down and revamp the devise and send them over seas to less fortunate groups.
Reducing and recycling should be covered over all curriculums
very relevant and useful module
Useful on environmental awareness
Awareness of the environmental impact we make is good but greener energy is needed in Colleges
Useful information to pass onto both colleagues and students.
